[QUOTE="Sadras, post: 7177270, member: 6688277"] Following from my post #525, instead of breaking BA with the modifiers just provide additional racial benefits like I did with [B]Brute Strength[/B] for half-orcs. Give them [B]Brute Strength[/B] or upgrade it to [B]Giant Strength[/B] or [B]Powerful Build[/B] increasing their Carrying Capacity and Push,Pull & Drag capability even further for each point of STR. Introduce [B]Giant Blood[/B] which could double the ability modifier when performing feats requiring strength (i.e. climbing, jumping, bending bars...etc) or instead might give them a +1 bonus/3 points in STR in STR saves and STR related skills checks. Or give them a racial trait that allows them to draw on their inner reserves, allowing them to expend 1HD to deal more damage in a melee/thrown weapon attack. Perhaps you introduce racial ability minimums as per @[I][B][U][URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=58172"]Yaarel[/URL][/U][/B][/I]'s post #210, so for instance Half-Giant must start with minimum 16 STR and they gain a racial +4 STR bonus, which means 20 STR. Increase the maximum STR to 22 for Halfgiants, but if you're using a flatter ability table like I suggested it won't break BA. 12-15 +1 16-18 +2 19-21 +3 22-24 +4 25-27 +5 28-30 +6 ...etc Many options are open to you without having to worrying about BA :) [/QUOTE]
